Saturday’s jackpot was tiny when compared with the January 2016 record Powerball jackpot, which was worth nearly $1.6 billion.

The billion-dollar-plus prize won in the Jan. 13, 2016, drawing was the largest lotto jackpot awarded in U.S. history and was split by three winners. In the summer of 2016, a New Hampshire player won a $478 million prize.
